Either that or it's a conspiracy to piss off owners of both generation.

On my first gen the panel was lower than the Fumoto so you have to rip the panel off to get to the valve.
I had a scare once where somebody had left a mini-manhole cover for a water valve or something on the road at night and I drove over it at full speed. Very scary bang and a nice gash in the panel. Thankfully not near the valve.
